 So I believe the reason I'm not seeing and printf output in dmesg is that
 it is too early in some functions.
 For example
 machdep.s
  getmemsize()
  add_efi_map_entries()
  etc

 However, these functions do contain debug printf statements so if they're
 logging to somewhere, where/how can I see this?

 I also tried booting in bhyve too see if I could get any output via

For this case the gdb stub in FreeBSD head should be sufficient.  You need
to add '-G 1234' to the command line when starting bhyve and then you can
use 'target remote localhost:1234' from either gdb or kgdb.

That early hangs are typically due to an exception occuring before
IDT is set up and trap machinery operational.  Double-check that
there is no any early framebuffer access, as a drastic measure remove
all framebuffer drivers from your kernel config.

I do not remember, where gdb stubs added to bhyve ?  Is there a way
to inspect the vm guest state in bhyve by other means ?

Thanks for the tip. I found the comment in machdep.c that explains this
now.
However, running in bhyve with
console="comconsole" (not needed in bhyve I guess?)
debug.late_console=0

Boot hangs after
Booting...
output.
Caused by late_console=0.

Disable efi console, only leaving comconsole around, then set
debug.late_console=0
in loader.

Early kernel boot log?

2018-08-09 Thread Johannes Lundberg
Hi

So I believe the reason I'm not seeing and printf output in dmesg is that
it is too early in some functions.
For example
machdep.s
 getmemsize()
 add_efi_map_entries()
 etc

However, these functions do contain debug printf statements so if they're
logging to somewhere, where/how can I see this?

I also tried booting in bhyve too see if I could get any output via serial
console but nothing there either.

printfs in cpu_startup() does give me output in dmesg.

Cheers
